Sharing my pictures

[Steiner]

Gentlemen

My mothers side of my family has been in New Brunswick for hundreds of years. A while ago my mother died and as I was going through her papers I came across these photos. I wish to share them with you for research purposes. I have loaded them on image shack so I could get better rez then what GMIC can offer. These should be men from WW1 and WW2 and I believe either with the 26 bn from WW1 or C&Y reg from WW2. please feel free to ask me questions but I don't know much about these. There are more to come also but this is what I have done so far.

Enjoy

More stuff.

This is just weird I have no idea why my family had this and everyone is dead who could tell me. This are documents written by the first leiutenant governer of New Brunswick appointing sherriefs in counties in NB. Dated 1785.

Hey, I have government housing inventories ("2 forks, a towel, a plate, 4 pieces of firewood" sort of stuff ) from Hessen-Kassel in the 1850s in a 4 generation German paperwork group--- and absolutely no apparent "reason" for anybody to have kept any of it.

And now, after all this time, like I'm going to throw it away? Not! But useless!

You may have documents of some period/autograph/personal interst there. Can't help with that. Aside from a blood connection to your long ago Prime Minister Borden (related indeed to our Lizzie Borden who "gave her mother 40 whacks and when she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41" ) Pre-Confederation is outside my expertise.

Best shot would be to try the Mormons' online genealogical site:

http://www.familysearch.org/

Click on the "Advanced Search" line at mid-upper left and start entering names against Canada.

I've never researched up there, so I don't know how extensive the LDS holdings are, but I believe they have a number of Canadian censuses on line.

Just be aware that they present things as submitted. There are often mistakes.

But I doubt, if your family is like mine, that Untold Generations Of Ruthlessly Tidy Women would have allowed things to be saved... just because they were lying around in somebody ELSE'S attic.

Somewhere in there is probably a thread connecting those forgotten lives to yours.

Just don't start doing this late at night, because if you do get lucky and find a connection, you can easily get sucked into hours of sleepless, fevered discovery.

LOL thanks Rick. That gives me some places to look.

Kind regards,
